New York Times on the “melancholy poetry” of Robert Wilson’s Krapp’s Last Tape

"In this offering from the Peak Performances program, Krapp is portrayed by that exacting master of the avant-garde masque, Robert Wilson….  As director and designer, [Wilson] has reconceived ‘Krapp’s Last Tape,’ which runs only through Sunday, as a Gothic tone poem that transforms the play’s subtext into exaggeratedly graphic images….  This ‘Krapp’s Last Tape’ assumes its own melancholy poetry that is in keeping with Beckett’s affinity for the pratfall-deflated pretenses of music-hall clowns.  And you surely won’t soon forget the sight of Mr. Wilson’s burned-out case trying to trip the dark fantastic one more time."
